Medigap Plan F Coverage Supplements Medicare

Specifically, Medicare Supplement Plan F includes coverage of Medicare Part A deductible and coinsurance. As well as some costs after you’ve exhausted hospital benefits. Medigap Plan F covers Medicare Part B deductible of $183 and coinsurance of 20%.

Medicare covers for costs related to blood but only after the first three pints. An “F” policy provides coverage for the first three pints of blood.

Medicare Plan F pays the deductible payments for both Medicare parts. If you were have Medicare Part B excess charges, you are covered. This Medigap plan covers costs related to foreign travel emergencies, up to specific limits.

Medicare Supplemental plans are standardized by regulators. There isn’t a different between a Plan F’s benefits and multiple insurance companies. If a company offers multiple Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, each plan must be exact to the benefits listed below. A Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan F must be the same from one company to the next. The only difference between the companies is the amount they charge, also known as insurance premiums.

Medigap Plan F – Medicare Supplemental Insurance Benefits

Plan F Covers: Hospital Care

The 2018 Medicare Part A deductible is $1,340 for days 1-60 for hospital inpatient care. Inpatient hospital care days 61-90 is $335 each benefit period. If you are in inpatient hospital care for more than 90 days, the Medicare Part A cost sharing is $670 per “lifetime reserve day”, which is a total of 60 days over your lifetime. If you exceed 60 days over your lifetime reserve days, you would have to pay all the cost without having a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan F policy. Medicare Supplement Plan F Insurance pays 100% of the Part A insurance deductible, coinsurance, and hospital costs up to an additional 365 days after Medicare benefits are used.

Plan F Covers: Skilled Nursing Facility Care

Medicare covers skilled nursing facility care and the supplement Plan F will pay the coinsurance. Most agents and companies do not inform individuals that Original Medicare will NOT pay for skilled nursing facility care – if the individual hasn’t been in an inpatient hospital for three consecutive days.

Medigap Plan F: Coverage for Services

Medicare Supplemental Plan F pays 100% of the Part B deductible. The 2018 Part B deductible is $183. After the Part B deductible is met, typically you would have to pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for the services provided. Your Medicare Plan F policy pays the 20% coinsurance.

Medigap Plan F provides piece-of-mind with comprehensive care. Unlike group health insurance or individual insurance, Original Medicare doesn’t have an annual limit, also known as Max-Out-Of-Pocket (MOOP).
